Having trouble upgrading Fedora from 41 to 42, plus WiFi problems. (mander.xyz)

I had installed Fedora KDE for an older relative on his old Dell laptop. I had already upgraded it from 40 to 41 before, but this time it seemingly refuses to upgrade at all.

I tried upgrading through the "KDE Discover" program at first, no success. I would click the "Upgrade to Fedora 42" button and nothing would happen.

Then I tried upgrading manually using the instructions given by the fedora wiki, and I get the errors from the attached image. (Image below is the continued output)

On top of that, to make things worse, WiFi literally disappears at a whim sometimes. I mean all GUI options for WiFi disappear. I have to restart to make it work again. This is frustrating, can anyone give some insight? Should I just wipe and reinstall something else?

I decided Fedora since I use it myself, so I figured it'd be easier to debug. I think I'll pave the install and replace it with debian based mint if nothing works (I've made a separate partition for critical files)

When you say you did it manually, what do you mean exactly?

I meant that instead of doing it the "safe" GUI way, I simply did it by CLI, with the instructions available at the fedora docs
